The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting
in an accident and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature
that may take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle
navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving
is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle
operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting
while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Ram brand vehicle and to provide a convenient
reference for common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle,
visit mopar.com/om (U.S.), owners.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Ram brand dealer.
This Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are either standard or optional on this
vehicle. This manual may also include a description of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this
vehicle. Please disregard any features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. FCA US LLC
reserves the right to make changes in design and specifications, and/or make additions to or improvements to its products without
imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.
With respect to vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in
substitution therefore.

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far
below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend or use public
transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired
when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway
motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates,
and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently
when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.

which can be accessed by pushing the
mechanical key release button.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by

12 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Duplication of keys may be performed at an
authorized dealer. The VIN is required for
authorized dealer replacement of keys.
NOTE:
Only keys that have been programmed to the
ve
hicle electronics can be used to start the
vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle. When having
the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized
dealer.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed
or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless
of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses ignition keys which have an
em
bedded electronic chip (transponder) to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only keys that are programmed to
the vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle.
If the Vehicle Security Light is on after the key is
pl
aced in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it
indicates that there is a problem with the
electronics.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
ha
ve been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.
NOTE:
A key which has not been programmed is also
c
o
nsidered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit
the ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.

NOTE:
When opening the driver’s door with the key in
th
e ignition and the ignition placed in the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position, a chime will sound to
remind you to remove the key.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the
vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized
operation. When the Vehicle Security system is
activated, interior switches for door locks are
disabled. The system provides both audible and
visible signals. Every intrusion attempt causes
six continuous alarm cycles. Every alarm cycle
lasts for 30 seconds. For 26 seconds, the horn
will sound, and the turn signal lights will flash.
For four seconds, it will pause. After a maximum
of 10 alarm cycles, only the turn signal lights will
flash until the next alarm activation.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system will arm when you
use the key fob to lock the doors. If a door or the
hood is not properly shut, the alarm system will
not be armed.
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
transmission into PARK, apply the parking
brake, and remove the key fob from the
vehicle. When leaving the vehicle, always
lock your vehicle. In case you switch off the
vehicle and the transmission is not in
PARK, a warning message will appear on
the cluster which suggests you to shift the
transmission into PARK and, then, you can
remove the key within 15 seconds.
If 15 seconds expire, you have to rotate the
ke
y from the OFF/LOCK position to the ON/
RUN position and come back to the OFF/
LOCK position in order to remove the key.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of
re
asons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren. A child could operate power windows,
ot
her controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

14 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
Use the key fob to unlock the door and disarm
the system.
The Vehicle Security system will also disarm if a
pr
ogrammed Sentry Key is inserted into the
ignition switch. To exit the alarm mode, push
the key fob unlock button, or insert a
programmed Sentry Key into the ignition switch.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to
pr
otect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle
Security system will rearm itself after the 15
additional minutes of turn lamps flashing. If the
condition which initiated the alarm is still
present, the system will ignore that condition
and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you
lock the doors using the manual door lock.
